Harry Edsel Smith of Albany, New York:

Only The Good Die Young.

In a London, England, cemetery:Here lies Ann Mann, Who lived an old maid
but died an old Mann. Dec. 8, 1767
=============================

The children of Israel wanted bread, And
the Lord sent them manna. Clark Wallace
wanted a wife, And the Devil sent him Anna.
===============================
In a Ruidoso, New Mexico, cemetery:Here lies Johnny Yeast...
Pardon him for not rising.
===============================
In a Uniontown, Pennsylvania, cemetery:Here lies the body of Jonathan Blake.
Stepped on the gas instead of the brake.
==============================
In a Silver City, Nevada, cemetery:Here lays The Kid.
We planted him raw.
He was quick on the trigger
But slow on the draw.

On a grave from the 1880s in Nantucket,
Massachusetts:Under the sod and under the trees,
Lies the body of Jonathan Pease.

In a cemetery in England:Remember man, as you walk by,
As you are now, so once was I
As I am now, so shall you be.
Remember this and follow me.To which someone replied by writing
on the tombstone:To follow you I'll not consent,
Until I know which way you went.
